Animals Facts

The male platypus can use the spur on its rear ankle to inflict a paralyzing sting, making it one of the word's few venomous mammals. This feature may help it fight other males for territory and mates during the breeding season.

Hedgehog Hibernation

To cope with the lack of food during cold winters, hedgehog will go into hibernation, lowering thier body temperature and heart and respiration rates to minimize their energy needs. Their metabolic rate can become 100 times slower and they may even stop breathing for up to 2 hours. Hibernating hedgehog live off the extra body fat accumulated in late summer, but also rouse themselves for a day or so every couple of weeks to forage and defecate.

Leaf-Eater

A Specialized stomach allows flying lemurs to digest the large amounts of leafy vegetation that make up the bulk of thier diet. Other foods include buds, flowers, fruit, and possibly tree sap.

Rather than hang in a cave or from a branch, the little Honduran tent bat is one of several fruit bats that create their own shelter. It curls a palm frond by chewing through the connection between the leaf's midrib and edges.

As China's human population has burgeoned, most of the giant panda's habitat has been destroyed. Only about 1,000 pandas remain in the wild, restricted to isolated mountain pockets of bamboo forest. Widely recognized as a symbol of conservation, the gian panda is still poached for it's skin.

Before a skunk shoots out foul-smelling musk from its anal glands, it gives an enemy fair warming, raising its tail, stamping its feet, pretending to charge, or even doing a handstand. The skunk's distinctive black and white markings also serve to warm predators that it is a meal best avoided.
